Lucia Gordon

Graduate Student
NSF Graduate Research Fellow

I'm a researcher in Andrew Davies' lab at Harvard University and the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Denmark, affiliated with Christian Igel's and Serge Belongie's groups at the University of Copenhagen. I’ve been a PhD student in Computer Science at Harvard’s School for Engineering and Applied Sciences since Fall 2022. I work on machine learning for Earth observation data, in particular remotely sensed imagery. I'm interested in computer vision, active learning, multimodality, dataset imbalance, and machine learning software for ecology. I did my undergraduate studies in Physics and Mathematics at Harvard College, but my passion for protecting the natural world led me to the AI for Conservation community, where I've loved harnessing my quantitative skills for ecology and biodiversity monitoring. With the Davies lab I’ve worked on detecting rhino middens and termite mounds using machine learning.
